VIRTUE-SIGNALLING, PATINA OF SCIENTIFIC AUTHENTICITY & WASTE OF MONEY GIVEN WHO THEY WOULD REPORT TO (i.e. Woolwich Township)

 Back to the e-mail sent to councillor Nathan Cadeau and CPAC members by a CPAC colleague and TAG member late last Tuesday evening. Talk about a wonderful birthday present! Yesterday I posted about the who and some of the what. Today a little more detail is in the title.

But first will there be a response by TAG at their public meeting in Council Chambers tonite at 6:30 pm.? I suspect not by the members but the well paid Chair may be induced to defend the Township just as mayor Shantz defended Lanxess's  behaviour at the last RAC meeting.  

The actual quote in the e-mail as referenced above is "...no insider would be allowed to tell the honest truth about the virtue-signalling remediation efforts in our town." The second part of the above title I believe refers to Conestoga Rovers and their successors GHD. Those folks and others have created a patina (thin coating) of scientific authenticity... . Other less polite terms which I've used for decades include junk science, psuedo science and bullsh*t. Finally the last part of the title above refers to another quote in the e-mail namely "He who pays the piper calls the tune." This references so called " independent" experts and so called Qualified Pe.rsons giving their alleged unbiased opinions to the public about contamination and remediation.

  1. The fact that all aspects of testing for contaminants/chemicals is being carried out by all those who are all in a conflict-of-interest position is a farce.

    But even more to the point; the individuals who are in fact potentially the most liable and or corrupt being in control/ in charge of anything is an abomination.
